Abstract: Using Fourier transfer,we extend the transparent index function of step grating into Fourier series and derived the expression of diffraction efficiency.The expression shows that the diffraction efficiency is the function of width ratio ξ,height ratio γ and wavelength ratio σ.As a example,we give the calculation results of diffraction efficiency of 2-level step grating.
